735 -88: Tang Xian’s Day 7_3
Tang Xian said:
“The moment I launch the Devouring Sun at the judge, you must use your ability to pull me into the Spiritual Purgatory, and you have to be quick.”
The Xuan Bird didn’t know why Tang Xian was so certain it would help him.
However, looking at the judge’s silhouette, it had already made its decision.
The closer it got to the altar, the more oppressive the Bird felt, just like Tang Xian.
It had to stop outside the great doors.
Then it watched as the massive mountain gate slowly closed.
…
…
The altar was much larger than Tang Xian had imagined.
Upon entering the altar, Tang Xian felt an uncomfortable aura, as if something was pulling at him.
The judge was beneath three gigantic statues, while Tang Xian was at the center of the altar.
The altar was quite dim, like dusk in winter, yet Tang Xian could vaguely see something in all four directions.
At each direction, there were three sacred objects.
These creatures were all kinds of strange beasts, and among the statues behind the judge, one had begun to crack.
“This is a Formation, and naturally, the altar is for sacrifice.
Am I your offering?” Tang Xian cut to the chase.
This took the judge by surprise, and he was silent for several seconds before he finally spoke:
“[Since you’ve guessed as much, why still come?]”
“I couldn’t escape either.
I’ve tried jumping off the mountain in these days, but just like the Endless Turtle said, the whole world is within your domain.
The sacred mountain is actually a sphere; those marked by your domain, no matter how they walk, will end up back where they started.”
The judge nodded and said:
“[You are indeed intelligent, unfortunately, there’s something inside your body that I desire the most.]”
“You’ve prepared this altar for a long time just to hunt me?
What’s the principle of the Formation?” Tang Xian asked.
“[Certain special qualities of Soul Crystals can create a unique resonance, and this resonance generates a domain.
Where I stand is the position of life, where you are, is the position of death.]”
“And because of your Causality Domain, I can never escape from this area, so now I can only be forcibly drained of life by you?”
“[Your Eden bloodline cannot resist the damage brought by these lifeless substances.]”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve.
It seems this altar has been prepared for many years.
And it definitely wasn’t meant just for me.” Tang Xian did not resist.
The judge also believed that Tang Xian could not leave:
“[Yes, the existence of the Lord of Eden once made me apprehensive.
I’ve been guarding here for two reasons: because the sacrifice of the Formation can give me a tiny bit of recovery, and also because it’s a place where the Eden Tribe can be killed.]”
Inside the altar, a storm suddenly arose.
The judge said coldly:
“[It’s not just about simply killing, but also about fusing the originally imperfect you and me into the most perfect being in this world.]”
The twelve special Soul Crystals hidden within the sacred object statues emitted a gray light.
This light strongly reminded Tang Xian of the Sea God he saw in the divine kingdom.
Tang Xian said:
“What if I swore allegiance to you?”
“[Had the Angel Envoy not told me that you have Eden blood, I might have considered you becoming my assistant.]”
“So, all this indulgence towards me these days was to keep me steady?” Tang Xian already felt that under the shining of the gray crystals, his life force was rapidly draining away.
It wasn’t just life force; it felt like an enormous and mysterious power was being pulled out of his body little by little.
At the same time, the judge, who had been blurry with wounds for hundreds of years, saw his injuries start to heal bit by bit.
The speed of this healing was very slow, but it was more significant than the total recovery offered by the countless sacrifices over the years.
The immense life force of the Eden bloodline made the judge marvel.
Tang Xian shook his head and said:
“So you’re just like that god, not straightforward at all.
This isn’t some special crystal’s domain at all, it’s the inverse application of the Exhaustive Ray, right?
The gray crystals, I’m not seeing them for the first time.”
“[It seems you’ve been to the divine kingdom.]”
The judge uttered the words ‘divine kingdom’, which made Tang Xian feel more confident about his previous conjectures.
The judge was undoubtedly severely injured by the Mechanical Race.
But the means he used to recover were also provided by the Mechanical Race, which was enough evidence of a secret deal between the judge and the Mechanical Race.
At the moment, Tang Xian didn’t have the time to extract more words or make any calculations.
He tried to leave the place, but space seemed to become chaotic, everything was just as Tang Xian had guessed, no matter how he walked, he would return to the same place.
The judge didn’t seem in a hurry at all.
The ghastly wound had already healed by one-fifth.
In hundreds of years, it had never felt as relaxed as it did today.
Of the several beast gods, the one it most wanted to find was the legacy of Eden, never expecting this descendant of the Eden Tribe to fall into its trap.
Tang Xian knelt on the ground, his soul feeling as though it were being torn apart.
This sensation was even more painful than the day he was struck by the transformed Angel Envoy Constantine.
Clenching his teeth, he could only place all his hope in the Xuan Bird.
Outside the bronze giant door, Tang Xian didn’t know whether the Xuan Bird could see the black mist descending.
And at this moment of life and death, Tang Xian also unleashed an unprecedented potential.
A vast black mist covered the entire altar, spreading continuously.
Before long, everything within the bronze giant doors had fallen into darkness.
In the council far away, several of the humans suddenly felt uneasy.
While at the altar, although the judge couldn’t see Tang Xian’s position, it could feel Tang Xian’s presence:
“It’s meaningless, my power of causality will soon transform your abilities into the simplest crystalline power.”
With a gentle wave of the judge’s hand, the black mist that could trap the vision of myriad beasts and obstruct perceptions started to dissipate bit by bit.
This overwhelmingly irrational ability to decompose left Tang Xian with no recourse.
The light from twelve gray crystals enveloped Tang Xian, and as the wounds on the judge’s body faded, Tang Xian’s life force grew increasingly weaker.
His consciousness began to blur, and the judge remained still.
It didn’t need to move.
The recipients of the living seat and the offerers of the dead seat, nobody could leave the altar until the sacrifice was over.
Thus, it didn’t see another ray of gray light hitting Tang Xian.
Tang Xian, on the verge of losing consciousness, suddenly felt as if his soul had arrived at the coldest place in the world.
The original space became abstract, it was still the dim altar, but the judge was nowhere to be seen.
Tang Xian smiled weakly and said,
“You…
made the right choice…
I promise you, once I recover, I will definitely take you…
to find the Nether Phoenix…”
After that, Tang Xian fell into a deep sleep.
Inside the Spiritual Purgatory, he was like a starving ghost.
But soon his life force began to recover rapidly.
Outside the Spiritual Purgatory, the judge incredulously watched the Xuan Bird, shaken with rage.
“Do you think you can escape?”
…
…
Great chaos befell the holy mountain.
The entire massive holy mountain rapidly descended into the Red Lotus Hell.
This day, all living beings within the Red Lotus Hell suffered two calamities.
One catastrophe was the huge holy mountain crashing into the Red Lotus Hell like a meteorite.
Countless creatures died from the powerful shockwave produced by the descent of the holy mountain.
The second calamity was that the massive impact did not sink this glacier-like land into the deep sea.
Instead, it awakened an extremely terrifying existence.
It originally belonged to the southern seas, a powerful general under the Sea God.
After the Sea God’s death, it came to the northern continent, where it drifted in the arctic seas for hundreds of years, like an inanimate object.
And now, the massive impact finally roused it from slumber.
This was the seventh day on the holy mountain.
On this day, the strongest creature in the Myriad Beasts Realm, known as the Judgment Chief, finally recovered from its grave injuries, greatly enhancing its power.
It was on this same day that changes occurred within the holy mountain, the sacred land of the Myriad Beasts Realm descended onto the glacial continent.
The great creature within the depths of the Red Lotus Hell was thus awakened.
The Xuan Bird, head of the original court of Judgment Chiefs, broke away from the court.
And from the north, the tremors that terrified the myriad beasts kept coming.
Creatures from the north, even those of calamitous levels, began to flee en masse to the south.
After this day, Constantine sensed the methods of the Orderers, felt that life had entered its final seven days, and embarked on the path of self-redemption.
